Why not just make such a great album that it is a Best of? Or, why not only make one album, so it could be a Best of? ---

Also, many great songs don’t become “hits”. ---

I just saw The Runaways on HBO. It was a fairly decent look at the rise of Joan Jett’s original band. Not really a rockumentary, but a decent movie. ---

OK, so, this is a little off subject but speaking of the Runaways or all girls bands. Can anyone guess (without googling) the first all-female band that both wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the Billboard album charts? It surprised me. And no cheating! ---

No, they don’t, but I figured it would be some weird technicality like on one song they all played tambourines or something. Admittedly, I’m not really up on my all female bands, which is why the Bangles were the only band I could think of. ---

Now, when you see their old photos most don’t stand the test of time.but some were still fairly hot. Also my sister thought Leif Garret (SP? I don’t care enough to look it up) was so hot. Scary!

Have you seen Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. It is a fantastic real life version of Spinal Tap, plus you see at the end how a record as horrible of St. Anger, became so bad. I highly recommend it. edit: wrote the wrong name of the album [Previous page](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/what-is-your-favorite-rockumentary/66834.md?page=2) [Next page](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/what-is-your-favorite-rockumentary/66834.md?page=4)
